Featured review
Well worth seeing--especially since Flynn was a very complex man.
While this made for Turner Classic Movies documentary is very, very good, it isn't quite as good as their best--such as their special about Joan Crawford. This is because the print is a bit rough looking and I could have liked to hear some experts talk about Flynn's psychological profile, as he was a HUGELY dysfunctional guy. Still, it's well worth your time--especially since he was a terrific actor.
Like you'd expect in such a film, it consists of narration, film clips and various interviews. Some of the folks who talked about Errol Flynn seemed like odd choices (after all, what was their connection to Flynn?!)--such as Joanne Woodward, Bury Reynolds and Richard Dreyfus. I don't think any of them knew Flynn. Perhaps part of the problem is that most folks who knew him are dead--and we are fortunate that at least they could assemble folks like his daughter, an ex-wife and Olivia de Havilland (who was the BEST part of the documentary--as her comments were priceless--what a classy and interesting woman!). Interesting topics covered were his relationship with the petulant Bette Davis, drug abuse and the insane allegations he was a Nazi that came out about 30 years ago! Interesting throughout and well worthy your time.
